A Shack–Hartmann (or Hartmann–Shack) wavefront sensor (SHWFS) is an optical instrument used for characterizing an imaging system. [1] [2] It is a wavefront sensor commonly used in adaptive optics systems. It consists of an array of lenses (called lenslets) of the same focal length.
The wavefront of an aberrated image (left) can be measured using a wavefront sensor (center) and then corrected for using a deformable mirror (right). Adaptive optics ( AO ) is a technique of precisely deforming a mirror in order to compensate for light distortion.
Figure 2: Optical setup of a Twyman-Green interferometer with a CCD image sensor. The interference occurs for white light when the path lengths of the measurement beam and the reference beam are nearly matched. By scanning (changing) the measurement beam path length relative to the reference beam, a correlogram is generated at each pixel. The ...
Thorlabs, Inc. is an American privately held optical equipment company headquartered in Newton, New Jersey. [2] The company was founded in 1989 by Alex Cable , who serves as its current CEO . His daughter, Jennifer Cable, serves as president. [ 3 ]
A pyramid wavefront sensor is a type of a wavefront sensor. It measures the optical aberrations of an optical wavefront. [1] This wavefront sensor uses a pyramidal prism with a large apex angle to split the beam into multiple parts at the geometric focus of a lens. A four-faceted prism, with its tip centered at the peak of the point spread ...
A wavefront sensor is a device which measures the wavefront aberration in a coherent signal to describe the optical quality or lack thereof in an optical system. There are many applications that include adaptive optics , optical metrology and even the measurement of the aberrations in the eye itself.
A wavefront curvature sensor is a device for measuring the aberrations of an optical wavefront. Like a Shack–Hartmann wavefront sensor it uses an array of small lenses (or lenslets) to focus the wavefront into an array of spots. Unlike the Shack-Hartmann, which measures the position of the spots, the curvature sensor measures the intensity on ...
Principle of the shearing interferometer. The shearing interferometer is an extremely simple means to observe interference and to use this phenomenon to test the collimation of light beams, especially from laser sources which have a coherence length which is usually significantly longer than the thickness of the shear plate (see graphics) so that the basic condition for interference is fulfilled.
